Hi, keep me up to date about when ooRex-LanguageBinding is released offically.
We should more generally discuss what languages should be avaible on the
snippet-page.
At the moment the following ones are available on the snippet-page:
- OOBasic
- C++
- Java
- Python
- XSL
Others I'm aware of but not on the snippet-page:
- JavaScript
- ooRex
Which languages should we support? Which languages should not be
supported? Should we maybe restructure our snippet-page not seperating
our pages into programming languages but rather task. Jürgen already
said that he'd like to have every snippet in every language.
I could think about:
+ Office
+ Connect 2 OO-Process
+ Java
+ Python
+ ....
+ Writer
+ Enumerate Paragraphs
+ Java
+ Python
+ ....
This would mean that we resturcture our snippets and collect different
languages in one snippet
-----------------------8<-----------------------
<snippet>
// .... As usual
<answer>
<listing lang="Java">
</listing>
<listing lang="Python">
</listing>
</answer>
</snippet>
-----------------------8<-----------------------
What do you think about this?
As I'm writing I get the feeling that this would be a great thing to have.
